This acquisition boosts Telenor's Danish mobile market share from 23,3 to 27,3** percent and broadband market share from 10 to 14 percent.

"Our Danish organisation is performing strongly, and this acquisition is a tool to ensure continued progress," said Morten Karlsen Sørby, Executive Vice President and Head of Telenor Nordic. "To be successful in the telecom industry, you need to secure sufficient size and this acquisition is an opportunity to further utilise scale advantages in mobile as well as broadband in Denmark and the Nordics," said Morten Karlsen Sørby.

2007-05-09 -- Stockholm - Tele2 AB, ("Tele2"), (Stockholm Stock Exchange: TEL2 A and TEL2 B), Europe's leading alternative telecom operator, today announced that it has sold its Danish operations including fixed, broadband and mobile businesses to Telenor. Telenor will pay in cash approximately MSEK 1,025. Completion is expected end of June following approval from Danish Competition Authorities.

Tele2 has built a strong operation in Denmark. However, as the market evolves and competition increases it has become evident that there is a need for a more infrastructure based approach both when it comes to broadband and mobile services. Hence, Tele2 has decided to exit Denmark and continue with the strategy to concentrate its operations to markets with expectations of higher returns.
